MoTeC SVIM

Name: MoTeC SVIM
SKU: Motec_SVIM

The Synchronous Versatile Input Module (SVIM) is a compact expander which, in conjunction with an ACL or ADL3 data logger, enables the synchronized logging of inputs at high speed and high resolution.

The SVIM collects data of the highest integrity for use in advanced chassis and suspension analysis. It samples 18 inputs simultaneously with 18 separate converters with 5th order anti-aliasing filters.

Multiple SVIMs are synchronized so that each SVIM in the vehicle scans its high-resolution AV inputs at the same time. This is important when examining the interrelationships of signals that are being detected by various sensors in the vehicle. This is useful for test benches and real-time simulations.

SVIMs are versatile and can be placed near sensors, reducing the weight and complexity of cabling. If used several times, up to 200 sensor inputs are available. The SVIM supports many different types of sensors, including unamplified thermocouples and strain gauges.

The SVIM is configured and controlled with the Data Logger Manager software, which has special programming functions for the SVIM. This also automatically updates the firmware version in the SVIM if necessary. The data logger communicates with the SVIM via the CAN bus.

Compatible with
ACL (up to eight SVIMs)
ADL3 (up to two SVIMs)
